11This poem is dry like chapped lips. \
12It is hard as teeth---hear the tapping? \
13It is the swan song of beauty, as all \
14swan songs are. Reading it, you are \
15puzzled, perhaps a little repulsed. \
16Swans do not have teeth, nor do they sing. \
17A honking over the cliff is all \
18they can do, and that they do \
19badly. You don't know where I'm going. \
20You want to tell me, You are not you. \
21You are the air the swan walks on. \
22You are the fringe of the curtain \
23that separates me from you. I say \
24that you are no longer the temple, \
25that you have been through fire \
26and are now less than ash. You are \
27the subtraction of yourself from \
28the world, the air without a swan. \
29Together, we are each other. You \
30and I have both nothing and everything \
31at once, we own the world and nothing in it.
